The Wastelanders expansion has implemented NPCs, which has caused a few additional problems.
People have arrived in the world of Fallout 76. The barren wasteland will be less lonely thanks to Wastelanders, the great expansion that Bethesda has just released. The most important novelty is the inclusion of NPCs, as well as the launch of missions with narrative loading. What's next for the Bethesda video game? Jeff Gardiner and Ferret Baudin, project leader and chief designer, respectively, clarified this issue at a question and answer event hosted on Reddit. They think about pets.
"Now that we have a companion system in the game, we are investigating the possibility of implementing pets as well," says Gardiner. What is clear is that Fallout 76 still has life ahead, but also a series of problems waiting to be solved. For example, players have had their weapons stolen by their NPC allies. This has been made known by some of those who have lost their favorite arsenal and later found it in the hands of a "friend". The North American company is already aware and is trying to discover what has happened.

More characters defending the camp?
One of the questions that has been asked is if there is the possibility that more than one NPC can defend the camp from the enemies, an aspect that involves some challenges. “Although we would like to do this there are numerous problems that should be addressed. Doubling the number of NPCs would come with a very high cost.
Fallout 76 Wastelanders is Bethesda's answer to many of the complaints raised since the title's release. The creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim also had to face criticism, both in terms of the concept of the game itself and those that pointed to the lack of content and bugs. Ideas like Fallout First, the subscription service, also raised the tone for certain community members.
